This section offers several Photoshop v.6 through 9* tutorials of the Skills chapter that is devoted to the most essential ( I'd even say obligatory) Photoshop techniques, because without knowing about color and tonal adjustments, layers, transformations, selecting and masking you give up the best and the most of this program.

*"Skills" for Photoshop CS3 available in full version of "ASAP" video-book.

Important! To play the embedded movies you need Macromedia Flash Player 6 or later. If you can't see a red stripe after this word     click here to get the player from the maker's web server. Normally, the installation takes about 2 minutes or less with a 56 K modem.
Also with some not IE browsers, to see and navigate Flash movies you may want to enable JavaScript.
For example in Opera 7.5, pull down Tools > Quick preferences > Enable JavaScript
Note, that the movie files may be pretty large (up to 1 Mb). So please be patient or switch to the silent version here or get full version of the book here.
